G145: Devil Rays 1, Red Sox 0

Kazmir (7-5-0-2-10, 118) bested Schilling (6-5-1-1-5, 99) on a night when the Red Sox did not get a man to third base.

Norton doubled to start the fifth. It looked like Ellsbury had a play on it with a leap at standings on the Wall. It dislodged the "70" for Toronto's losses. Navarro bunted Norton to third and Wilson brought him in with a fly ball to right.

Boston's best chance at a run came in the seventh. Kielty singled to left and, after Yook struck out, Varitek walked. Ellsbury fanned and Cora grounded into a force play at third.

It looked like the Red Sox might have a little momentum when Crisp started a 8-6-3 DP in the top of the ninth with a leaping grab at the garage door in center, but Reyes shut the door: Ortiz 5-3, Youkilis L5, Varitek K.

Tiz: "Man, my knee's been hurting again. I don't know. I guess a day off never [is] bad. I was missing a lot of pitches yesterday. Probably get a day off, so against a guy that kind of owns you ... it's not bad."

What a scorecard!Should probably save it for posterity. I can't believe you'll ever see it again.BTW - When I said I hoped to see something special in Baltimore this past weekend, I didn't really mean Dice's WORST performance ever.I blame him for the hangover I had Sunday. (At least I got to see the Bot on Sunday) :)Off to Choir practice - yeah, really. With this order I'm probably not going to miss a whole lot, but I hope I'm wrong.

Ah...I have the album "Bedouin Soundclash" by Badawi that they took their name from. I haven't heard 'em, but I dig reggae and particularly deep dubby stuff. I see they're more ska which is cool, though.

in a game thread? I don't know when it was, I'm too new here, but at some point there must've been a steady rise in game thread comment quantity to where now it's generally 200+ (well, not the last couple)...

It's a little surprising for tonight for it to be as low because of this being a Monday night in early September. Most people are back into the daily grind of autumn and winter. I thought there'd be more people here, as Pedroia knocks one into center field.

It's fantastic when you've got two good radio guys. I've just given up listening to Glenn Geffner because he annoys me so much. I listen to Don and Jerry for Glenn's innings. It's too bad, because I love listening to the radio while watching the game.

still here. she was watching gameday with me. She digs the baths and they're a) calming before bed and b) make the morning that much smoother.

I sometimes have the image of "Big Daddy" in my head where Adam Sandler's kid is the dirty kid in school. Not mine, though we let her choose all her own outfits--the girl is seriously "fashiony" (her word).

So Lgirl, are you really a Canadian, or have you just adopted the British spelling of favorite since moving there? :)

I'm US born, in another year I'll be a dual citizen. (Or at least in one more year I can apply.)

But those spellings are not just British - they're Canadian. We give the temp in Celsius, we order deli in grams, we give distances in kilometres... and we add these silly, unnecessary Us to certain words. :)

I am annoyed that the MFY have the all star game stadium host patches on their uniforms. its quite a ways away. The Sox don't put fucking World Series Host stadium patches on their uniforms. another reason we are better.

it was more of a way to say we are in the world series than anything. I don't really care about the patches. It annoys me when people miss my point and then complain of annoyance about what my point isn't. I hope my sarcasm doesn't make you mad.

Speaking of dynamic duos, who is moderating? And do you two sit side by side with laptops and talk only on the blog or do you also actually speak? If that's too nosy, you can just ignore my question. Just trying to figure out how you two pull this off!

A looney and a tooney. I love it. Where would American pop culture be without the healthy perspective of the Canadians who seem to get the humor in life and enjoy the good things without the crazy American arrogance?

We try to watch in the same room, but we have rules. Like, no cheering for your own team out loud, but you can moan if your team does something bad. No bad mouthing the other team out loud. And if one person doesn't want to watch, that person has to leave the room.

LOL! We almost killed each other in 2003 and in 2004. Before that, I could watch the Yankees easily in the post season and feel ok for Harvey's team winning. But after Aaron Boone, and Zimmer attacking Pedro, I just couldn't be neutral any more even when the Sox aren't in it, like last year's post season/

Mothers Day was a walkoff. We were there (as you know). My daughter wanted to leave in the 7th, I said NO. It was MOther's Day so she said we could stay. When they pulled off 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th, I smirked and said, "See? YOU NEVER LEAVE BEFORE IT IS OVER."

Yuch !!Very disappointing.Got home in time to see the last at-bat. GDGD showed that last strike to be well off the plate.Oh well, back at it tomorrow. LL practice Tuesday, then Rosh Hashannah on Wed. Maybe I'll get to join in a whole game on Thur.That would be a good time to do it too, eh?

The annual "take my parents to Fenway" game. And they didn't get to see A. Manny 2. Papi (except for that one pinch-hit AB) or III. any runs. Good thing my mom insisted on getting tix for Trot's return, so the year wasn't a total loss for them.

Well, great show, doesn't look like I missed much last night. Guess I'll have Buffyvision on the main TV tonight and MLBTV on the computer with my bed situated perfectly between the two....good ol' student living.
